No warranties on salvage TLs.

call the dealer and give them the vin# my freinds is salvage and they said it still covered dont tell them its salvage just the vin#

vzuptnguyen

yea thats what i heard. my uncle is a insurance specialist and he told me that. i didnt believe him cuz i thot if they just looked up the VIN it would show in their records

you guys think so?

CAB NEWYORK

most of the time there records are not up dated and the car is inspected and comes back with a clean title thats all they see (and check after 50000 miles some things are still covered) my freind his been covered so far

I m highly doubtful your car will be covered under warranty since it has a salvaged title, but who knows you might get lucky.

Does the CarFax report for the car indicate that it was salvaged?

If so, I imagine the dealership would have easy access to that info.

okay i called the acura owner's link thing, they said that the vin number on my vehicle falls into the transmission recall thing. I purchased this vehicle salvaged from a private sale, howeverl the previous owner had all the service work done at an actual acura dealer, Sunnyside Acura. (i have all workorders/ receipts) I've made contact with the dealer and verified the service work done on my vehicle, it comes back that there was service work done for the transmission.... The dealer stated that the oil jet was installed about a year ago. My question is if my vehicle is salvaged but the oil jet was installed, wouldn't that make me eligible for the 7yr/100k warranty? If the previous owner paid to have this work done wouldn't that override my vehicle being a salvage? I would really like to know if i even have a chance if i were 2 put in a claim for a new transmission. Thanks.

I have about 89,000 miles on the car.

I fall exactly under you situation. i bought my car with a salvaged title. i called Acura owner's link also and they told me that my car's transmission have had the oil jet installed. HOWEVER, that does not mean that my car is under the 7yr/100k warranty. Mainly because it was fixed before the salvaged title. if yours is fixed after the salvaged title, i think it would still not have the warranty.

CAB NEWYORK

like i said before my friends car is still under warranty for 7/100000 for airbags and transmission(the 50000 warranty is up)do to it is the car being brought in 02 and its an 03 tl and it is salvage tell the dealer to just check the vin# it might still be covered

AcuraBuddy

I dont know how they did it, but damn thats some good luck he has, Im tyring to figure out if Paragon Acura after ripping me off would actually help someone out but I doubt it.

TL.00.3.2

Clarification, when i bought the car the title did not read salvage, it read reconstructed/rebuilt. The previous owner was the one that bought it salvaged and had the car totally rebuilt/serviced through an acura dealer. So he paid for the oil jet and the electronics out of pocket, not through warranty. Wouldn't that mean that the new part they put on a salvaged vehicle have to be covered.?? or is it just the oil jet? I really dont know, i wish i would have known about this defect before i spent my hard earned money on it. I have the receipts for the installation/ part. Someone fill me in. thanks in advance.

From what I remember, the oil jet will be installed whether it's a salvaged title or not BUT the tranny replacement WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE on a salvaged title.

03CoupeV6

You're right NSXNEXT...

The oil jet is a recall, and everyone is entitled to the recall oil jet - but we all know it's useless because transmissions still fail with it.

The warranty is just that, a warranty. Voided if the car is salvaged. The chances of getting lucky and them not knowing are extremely slim. If they can find a way out of paying for your transmission, they will.

No. the oil jet kit and the tranny warranty extension are for 2 different problems. The extension of warranty isnt a recall, hence acura doesnt have to cover the tranny under the 7 year 100k. Even if they paid for it it doesnt matter

Mr Hyde

Thats the same thing; reconstructed/rebuilt means it hae nough damage at one point to be considered a total; loss, and has since been repaired.
